It's the most wonderful time of the Year!

We have been so busy the last couple of weeks with Christmas Festivities. This truly is our family's favorite time of the year. The kids have been bouncing off the walls and counting down the days until Christmas. I believe we're at T-minus 2 days and 3 hours until Christmas. Here's a sneak peek at all the fun we've been having. If only Christmas could last all year!

Christmas would not be Christmas at our house without homemade sugar cookies. This is our yearly tradition that the kids absolutely love. Cody wins the prize this year for eating the most frosting. He kept saying "I'm sooo hungry" as he was eating it by the spoonful.

Lauren built this snowman all by herself. She was so proud! With all the snow we have been getting the kids have loved playing out in it.

While our cousins were in town for our grandma's funeral we went to temple square to see the lights. It was so fun and so cold!! Cody cried the whole night because he wanted to get out of the stroller and run around (like that would be a good idea??)


I'm so glad that Connor hasn't outgrown sitting on Santa's lap. Our awesome neighbors have a big Christmas party each year and Santa visits their playhouse in the backyard. We look forward to this every year. Cody would not have a thing to do with him.



One night for family night a bunch of our friends got together to go caroling. We had so much fun! The kids had jingle bells that they would ring. They also wore reindeer ears. Connor even sported a blinking Rudolph nose. We piled into the back of our trucks and went all around the neighborhoods singing. We definitely brightened the holidays for a lot of families. We had donuts and hot chocolate by the fire afterwards.


It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!

You're better than anyone I know at taking pictures of all these fun things that you do. I wish I had the drive that you do for that. I, too, love this time of year, and it looks like you did everything Christmas-y imaginable. Kudos to you! =) Now put your feet up and relax now that its January!
